Her heart raced wildly.Everything that had been so relaxed just a moment ago suddenly turned tense.On the TV, the variety show’s celebrity guests were playing a game, their laughter and shouts echoing throughout the room.But on the carpet lay what appeared to be a grim, ominous coffin.Wen Zhiyan sat there, stunned, for a full minute.Then, taking a deep breath, she picked up her phone. Her heart was pounding so violently she felt it vibrating in her throat. With gritted teeth, she turned the screen back on.The image that appeared still sent chills through her.It was a row of severed human heads, lined up on what looked like mushroom-growing racks.Four bloody heads...She had opened the message without any preparation, and the sight of the heads nearly scared her soul out of her body.She considered herself brave, but she wasn’t brave enough to stare at such a horrific scene without feeling terri
Mrs. Ge smiled warmly as she sat down with the girl.It didn’t feel like she was helping find a lifesaver, but more like she was playing the role of a matchmaker.In the past week, several rich wives in their circle had gotten wind of this. Whoever could claim to be the lifesaver had a chance at becoming their daughter-in-law.The Zhao family had two sons.But given how much Mrs. Ge had been pushing for the marriage of the eldest son, it seemed like she was trying to find this lifesaving girl for some other reason.Women understand women’s minds the best, after all.Zhao Shiquan ordered the butler to serve the food.Lu Ziqi, having realized that the girl wasn’t the one she was looking for, decided not to ask further questions. Instead, she chatted casually with Mrs. Ge.Mrs. Ge noticed this change in tone.But the girl didn’t pick up on it, as she was still young.As soon as the girl entere
Zhao Xuanzhou remained unfazed.His mother had mentioned this matter in the hospital.With a calm expression, he asked, “So, they still haven’t found her?”If they had found her, this young girl wouldn't be speaking in this tone."No, they really haven’t found her. But they’ve found a bunch of fakes—impostors. Mom’s about to explode. She describes the girl in the green skirt like some kind of celestial being—fair skin, a slim waist, beautiful eyes, and red lips. She makes it sound like she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. I seriously suspect she hasn’t even seen the girl clearly. She’s just gone crazy adding filters because the girl’s a lifesaver.""Big brother, you better watch out. Once they find the girl in the green skirt, you and your girlfriend are going to have trouble.""Mom clearly isn’t just trying to thank the girl, she’s trying to make you
"Zhiyan, do you have something to say to me?"His low, deep voice came unexpectedly, catching her off guard.Wen Zhiyan was startled.Suddenly, her thoughts were exposed, and she couldn’t hide them in time. Her expression gave her away, and there was nowhere to retreat.After a long pause, she finally found her voice, "No.""Really?" His gaze became more intense, like it could pierce through her."...No."Their eyes locked.His stare felt like it could see straight through her, scanning her from skin to bone.At first, she tried to remain calm.But slowly, she couldn't hold up any longer. Her eyes slightly trembled.No, I can't take it anymore!Before everything collapsed, she suddenly hooked her arms around his neck, her lips pressing against his, and her slick tongue teasing its way in.Before she could pry open his mouth, he welcomed her in, fiercely entangling her with his own.
Wen Zhiyan couldn’t help but laugh and cry at her mother's last words.She clung to her mother, "Of course, I'm a rich young lady. I have such wonderful parents, I'm the richest person in the world, who could be happier than me?"Xu Shuyi's heart warmed.She gently stroked her daughter's soft hair, feeling a mix of emotions.Deep down, she didn’t want to return Wen Zhiyan to the Luo family, not in a million years.But if her daughter insisted on staying with Zhao Xuanzhou, returning her to where she should be might resolve a lot of issues.Then, Xu Shuyi thought of Mo Yingyao. Her mother had always said that the Luo family was a den of wolves.What should she do…Xu Shuyi was torn.Wen Zhiyan saw the worry in her mother’s eyes and felt even more guilty.Marrying Zhao Xuanzhou was impossible.So… should she break up with him?She had always felt that moment would come,
Zhao Xuanzhou: "……"He shot a cold glance at Uncle Chen.Wen Zhiyan silently covered her face: Uncle Chen, really? You had to add that?Gao Xixia almost burst out laughing on the spot.He eats like this every day?Is Mr. Zhao suffering from kidney deficiency or something? Eating this much tonic is just brutal, hahaha.Xu Shuyi was also momentarily speechless, then after a pause, she responded stiffly but politely,“Indeed, the breakfast of wealthy people is truly different. It’s… quite unique.”Unique, yes, too unique.Not just the food, the conversation was just as unique.Wen Zhiyan buried her head in her breakfast, avoiding participating in this strange discussion.Uncle Chen gave a gentle smile, not saying anything more. He picked up the cat that had been on the floor.“Rou Baozi is hungry. I’ll go feed it.”With that, he went out.Rou Baozi, with its short legs, clung to Uncle Chen's arm, meowing affectionately. The grandfather always fed it several times a day.In the dining roo
